NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR HISTORY
The first State Fair was founded in October 1853 by the State Agricultural Society.
One of the earliest resolutions approved was that the Society sponsor a "cattle show
and an exhibition of domestic manufactures." It was planned to offer premiums to
farmers who developed better practices for crop improvement, or designed and built
more effective implements. Immediately plans were underway toward the first State
Fair to spread constructive agricultural information.
The site for the first fair was a 16-acre tract about 10 blocks east of the Capitol in
Raleigh. In the Raleigh Register, the city's weekly newspaper, a week before the big
event ". . the entrance fee at the gate will be 25 cents for a single person, and $1 for a
carriage; and 50 cents for a buggy." The City of Raleigh contributed $25.00 toward the
fair and receipts amounted to $3000. Estimated attendance was four to six thousand.
It was highly successful. An editorial appearing in the Raleigh Register Sunday morn-ing,
October 22, 1853, allowed that:
"Nearly every section of the State; and every industrial pursuit within its borders,
were represented. The East sent its fine staples and its blooded stock, the West its
splendid cattle and its rich minerals. The farmer poured in his agricultural products,
the mechanic brought forward splendid specimens of his skill, the native artist ex-hibited
the productions of his pen or his pencil, and the ladies of the State, never
behind in any good work or beneficient object crowned the excellence of the whole with
the multiplied beauties which nature had yielded to their culture, and the varied and
tasteful attractions which had sprung from their handicraft."
The fair was moved in 1873 to what was then described as a "55 acre broom sage
field comprising and eminence known as 'Cook's Hill' on Hillsboro Road some 300
yards from the N.C. and Augusta Air Line Railroad, one and one-quarter miles west of
the city limits of Raleigh." This is now a residential and business district across from
the campus of N.C. State College. The Raleigh Little Theatre now occupies the site.
The Agricultural Society developed these grounds at a cost of more than $50,000.
The buildings consisted of a three-story octagon-shaped exhibit hall, 250 feet long and
44 feet deep. There were two wings designed as Farmers and Mechanics Halls. A 200 x
44 foot shed housed the machinery display and a three-story grandstand, judges' stand
and one-half mile of railroad tracks completed the permanent structures. The offices
and dressing rooms were on the first floor of the grandstand. The second deck was the
spectators' area, and the third floor was called "Tete-a-Tete Hall" where one could en-joy
a chair and privacy for an extra 25 cents.
By 1895 the Agricultural Society's show and exhibition had become the main annual
event among rural Tar Heels.
Politics and reunions were a big part of the fair in 1903. Confederate veterans
gathered at the fair and reminisced the big battles and hard times of '65 and '66.
President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to fairgoers in 1905 and was followed in 1907 by
William Jennings Bryan. Speechmaking was another major attraction of early fairs.
Bryan, the famed "silver-tongued" orator, had already delivered his famous cross of
gold speech and lost two elections. His address to North Carolinians undoubtedly was
part of his third unsuccessful race for presidency.
The Agricultural Society conducted the State Fair for 73 years. It was discontinued
from 1860 through 1866 during the Civil War and Reconstruction period, and in 1918
during World War I and influenza epidemic. The fair yielded in 1884 to a monthlong
"North Carolina Exposition" held on the fairgrounds.
In 1924 the society requested aid from the state and City of Raleigh. The first State
Fair Board was appointed by Governor McLean in 1925 with representatives from the
State, City and Agricultural Society. After this, the society disbanded. There was no
12
State Fair in 1926 and 1927. The late Governor J. Melville Broughton succeeded in con-vincing
the Legislature to designate 200 acres of land to the State Fair. Thus, the State
Fair moved in 1928 to its present site with additional land granted in 1952.
The State Fair was placed under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture in
1930. The various committees continued to operate the fair until 1933 when the Board
of Agriculture leased the fair to George Hamid for operation on a commercial basis.
The late Governor W. Kerr Scott returned the State Fair to the management of the
Department of Agriculture in 1937 when he took office as commissioner of
agriculture. That year in excess of $12,000 was paid out in educational exhibitor
premiums, and by 1968 this figure had reached more than $70,000. Currently the
figure exceeds $140,000.
Dr. J. S. Dorton of Shelby was appointed manager of the new State Fair, Division of
the Department of Agriculture, in 1937. Immediately the fair was no longer a burden
and showed a profit of over $8,000. The profits have increased yearly and have been
turned back into improvements for buildings and grounds.
It was in 1948 when entertainment became a big part of the State Fair. James E.
Strates Shows has been a regular feature since that time and during this same year
Bascom Lamar Lunsford brought the first Folk Festival, a feature that is still going
strong.
The N. C. General Assembly approved funds in the late 40's for construction of a
year-round facility to serve agriculture, industry, commerce and the general welfare
of the state. This center for educational, inspirational and recreational events was
completed in 1952 and named the J. S. Dorton Arena. The arena's unique architectural
design won it acclaim as one of the most significant structures of recent times.
Dr. Dorton died in 1961 and state Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. Ballentine
assumed his duties until his death in 1964. It was in 1961 that the fair operated six
days for the first time. Robert W. Shoffner, an assistant manager of the fair from 1947
to 1960 was appointed by James A. Graham to complete production of the '64 fair.
Arthur K. Pitzer was named permanent manager in January, 1965 by Commissioner
Graham.
Under guidance of Graham, the N. C. Board of Agriculture, Pitzer's management
and experienced staff, the fair has continued to grow and today is considered one of
the leading agricultural, industrial and educational fairs in the nation. In 1968 the
Board of Agriculture approved extending the fair's length to nine days beginning in
1969. This set the stage for the 1970's, which was to be a decade of significant growth.
Four new structures were completed: The Gov. Kerr Scott Building (1972), Crafts
Pavilion (1974), Livestock Building (1975) and Forestry Resources Center (1976). An
ambitious grounds improvement program of landscaping, paving, curbing and gutter-ing
was implemented. Work was also begun on Heritage Circle, an area near the fair-grounds
lake set aside to highlight cultural history of the state. One of the first
Heritage Circle projects was an authentic 18th century school house donated in 1975.
A program of popular special exhibits was inaugurated. In 1972 the fair sponsored
the world's largest space-related educational exhibit which was viewed by an es-timated
250,000 people. A series of exhibits highlighting different N. C. field com-modities
each year stirred new interest and pride in the state's agricultural tradition,
particularly among the non-farming public.
Several programs motivated in part by economic concerns of fairgoers were also ini-tiated.
In 1970 senior citizens were admitted to the fair free of charge. The same year
the Century Farm Families program was launched.
Efforts to speak to the wishes of the fairgoers paid off handsomely at the gate. At-tendance
averaged 570,000 in the 1970's. In 1976 the nine-day event, highlighted with a
visit by President Gerald Ford, was attended by 587,000 despite several days of cold
and rain. An all-time attendance mark of more than 662,500 was set in 1978.
13
The State Fair and grounds operate on a year-round basis. There are 25 permanent
employees, 21 of which are maintenance personnel.
Non-fairtime utilization of buildings and grounds increased dramatically in the
1970's as new sales initiatives by management and a complex of new facilities con-sisting
of the Kerr Scott Building (exhibit hall), the Jim Holshouser Building (crafts
pavillion) and the Jim Graham Building (livestock pavillion) made the fairgrounds an
active center for entertainment, meetings, expositions and agricultural shows.
The 1978 North Carolina Legislature authorized funds used by the fair to purchase
an additional 144 acres of land adjacent to the grounds. The acquisition brought the
fairgrounds to 344 total acres.

do so, but REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibit
space until proper entry has been made, and no entry will be accepted after
the closing date listed for the department.
Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly
classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which
event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department
Superintendent or Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE
OF THE ENTRY DIRECTOR." If the records are altered and do not
conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, payment of
premiums will be withheld.
No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to
see the entires, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are
made.
The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium
number (except as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and
Regulations). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens other
than those entered in single (individual) classes unless otherwise noted.
Except for the Horse Show no entry fees are required in any department,
except that livestock, poultry, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment
of stall, pen, and coop fees with their applications for entry. (SEE HEAD-NOTES
OF THESE DEPARTMENTS FOR SCALE OF FEES.) See Dept.
H, Arts and Photography head-notes for entry fees in the professional cate-gories.
Application forms for entry should be mailed to: N. C. STATE FAIR, 1025 Blue
Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N. C. Effective October 1, 1982 the Entry Department will be
staffed to receive applications for entry in person.

P.M. except Sunday, October 17 from 1-5 P.M. The Sunday following the fair the
department will be open from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM
ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These dates are set out in the Department
Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can
get your exhibits IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be con-sidered
abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing
of the Fair, and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE
SPECIAL RULES for the Culinary and Horticulture Departments.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair, on official
printed forms provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entries
in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or con-sidered
in the judging until proper entry has been made. Removal of exhibits
before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums
won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place
through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the
fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or
exhibits, and in an effort to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded con-ditions.
The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the
evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attend-ing
earlier.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper
department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be
issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain
on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for live-stock
and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or
coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL NOT BE MAILED, but will be available at
the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the
Department Superintendent or Director, who will allocate space and either
personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display, or direct
such action by the exhibitor. The State Fair assumes no responsibility for the
incorrect tagging of exhibits.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and
enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of the annual exposi-tion.
However, exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: N. C. STATE FAIR,
1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607, and they will be
carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the
same manner as previously described. They will be given the same considera-tion
with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation
charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair.
Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and
22
properly identified inside and outside the package as to the department,
class and premium number under which they have been previously entered.
They should be shipped or mailed at least a week or 10 days prior to the
opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed
shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority
over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which
are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use
as these Directors and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational
values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow,
must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Depart-ment
Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the
Junior Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and pens will be
furnished bedding before the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will
be required to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean.
Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article
entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to serve
as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim
checks should be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and
Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the
exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported
promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Director
of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within
one week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been aban-doned
by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair
sees fit. Other exhibits, and materials therein, including concession booths,
which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after
the end of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and will
become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does
not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and
the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed
objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted condi-tionally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any
article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will
be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the
Fair will be denied.
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must re-port
disqualification of entries to the Manager or Assistant Manager of
the State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUM-STANCES
WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PRE-MIUMS
PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOM-MENDED
UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS
OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER OR ASSISTANT MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise
and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only,
but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a
permit from the manager. The distribution of advertising matter which
23
conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is pro-hibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping
the space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and
roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit
booth and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or
concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for
cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the Fair
manager.
Exhibitors and Department Superintendents and Directors may have the exclusive
use of the lawn in front of the Educational and Commercial exhibit building for park-ing
until midnight, Thursday, October 14, 1982. Special parking facilities for the Live-stock
and Poultry Division will be provided at the west end of the Fairgrounds.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except
in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of
the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent
not later than noon of the day following the award, and must be accompanied
by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fail- if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to con-sider
the protest and all interested parties will be notified of the time of the
hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The i-ules of the
International Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will
be those of the North Carolina Fail-.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the
Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute pre-miums
equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit
that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE
INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN
ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except
such attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other
such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during
their adjudications, or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision
of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums
previously won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further partici-pation
in the Fair, and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging
reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superin-tendent
or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon
which they were awarded, if possible, but the libbons have no value in the
24
payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way
on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department
Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries
are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entiy department files are
not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded
premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that
does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are made as it
is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not collected during the Fair will
be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given on his or her entry form.
Errors in premium statements will be corrected until December 1, 1982, after which
time the books of the 1982 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:
Champion Royal Purple
Reserve Champion Lavender
First Premium Blue
Second Premium Red
Third Premium White
Fourth Premium Pink
Fifth Premium Yellow
Sixth Premium Dark Green
Seventh Premium Light Green
Eighth Premium Tan
Ninth Premium Gray
Tenth Premium, and above Light Blue

All entries in this Division must be made in advance and the gardens must be
ready for judging by 4 P.M. Thursday, Oct. 14.
We suggest you plan ahead for displays in this Division. Patios, walks and
fencing should be in place during the summer or early fall. Some of the plant
material is of better quality when grown in the area, therefore, plantings
should be timed to peak in mid-October.
Outdoor Gardens
Participants are expected to clean, replace dead plant material, and water
daily. If the garden is not kept attractive the premium will be forfeited. In
selecting plant material please keep in mind the cool temperatures which
occur during the fair. Any exhibitor not using growing plants will be dis-qualified.
All gardens will be judged on the following scale of points and the judges
will leave a schedule of the points as educational instruction for the partici-pants.
Appropriate comments and/or other suggestions will be made on the
judges scoring sheet.
1. Design of the entire garden 40

SPECIAL NOTE!!
Because of the extended duration of the N. C. State Fair it is assumed that
most, if not all, apples will be out of condition by the end of the Fair. The
Superintendent in charge of the fruit exhibit shall determine the method of
distribution and any money received from the salvage of the apple exhibit
will be divided according to the volume sold from each county exhibit and that
amount will be sent to the respective county 4-H fund for use in 4-H work
involving apples.
Rules and Regulations
Except in cases of conflict, in which event the following Rules and Regu-lations
will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations of the Fair will
govern this department. BE SURE TO READ THESE IN THE FRONT
OF THIS BQOK'BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DE-PARTMENT.
Some—but not all—are repeated herewith for emphasis, and
others apply only to this department.
MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is reserved to reject entries
received after all available space is taken.
Official printed forms must be used in making applications for entry. Two
will be found in the back of this book. Additional copies are available upon
50
request. Use separate forms for entries in EACH CLASS—"1" Fruits and
Nuts, and "2 and 3" Vegetables, of this department, and separate forms for
entries in each other department of the Fair. Be sure to fill in the application
form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post
office box number, or city street address and zip code.
List the Department Letter "G" for Horticulture and the Class Number
"1" for Fruits or Nuts, and "2 and 3" for vegetables, for which each entry
is made. Also, list the premium number and the description of the article,
exactly as shown in the Premium List.
Entry Tags should be picked up at the Entry Department immediately
upon arrival on the Fairgrounds. An Entry Tag must be attached to each
exhibit before it is presented in the Department for display.
As far as possible, it is urged that all horticultural products be brought in and set up
by the exhibitor. Where it is not possible, shipments should be made in time to reach
the Fairgrounds no later than Wednesday, October 13, and should be addressed to:
Superintendent, Horticulture Department, N. C. State Fair, 1025 Blue Ridge Blvd.,
Raleigh, N. C. 27607.
Where it is not possible to personally bring the products to the Fair and
arrange them, the Superintendents will be glad to arrange the products in
the most attractive manner possible. However, they will not pack box or
basket entries for exhibit. Exhibits mailed or shipped to the Fair should be
carefully labeled to show the name and address of the exhibitor, and the
nature, and class in which entered, of the contents of the package.
The State Fair will furnish, PLATES, QUART AND PINT CONTAIN-ERS,
CORRUGATED CARTONS FOR SWEET POTATOES, AND TRAYS
for exhibits, but no other containers. The number of specimens for each
PLATE display is specified in the premium list. Standard size tray, IIV2
x 18 inches inside measurements, and 3 inches deep, will be used. Exhibitors
should make a tray of the required dimensions and pack the exhibit to
determine the number of specimens required. At least one extra specimen
for each plate, and three or four extra specimens for each tray, should be
brought or shipped to the Fair to allow for possible damage in transit.
To insure uniformity in exhibit material and to facilitate judging, the
following sizes for apple varieties will be recognized:
Variety Diameter
Arkansas 3 to 3Vi inches
Bonum 2% to 3 inches
Delicious and named bud sports 2% to 3V4 inches
Grimes 2% to 3V4 inches
Jonathan 2% to 3 inches
Golden Delicious 2 3A to 3Vi inches
Rome and named bud sports 3 to 3V2 inches
Stayman and named bud sports 3 to 3% inches
Winesap 2% to 3 inches
York and named bud sports 3Vs to 3% inches
Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be care-fully
wrapped and packed for shipment to the Fair. Wrap separately in
paper and pack firmly in a box, taking care to avoid bruising. Label each
variety plainly and put in dividers to keep varieties separated. Do not use
hay, fodder, excelsior or any other dusty packing material. Any exhibit that
51
rots, is unsightly or becomes unsightly will be removed from display (after
judging) at the discretion of the superintendent.
Quality—Not Quantity
In selecting horticultural products for exhibit, choose only those speci-mens
that are of uniformly good quality, form and color, true to type, and
free from all insect and disease blemishes, and free from cuts and bruises.
Premiums offered for the best collection of fruits or vegetables will not be
awarded for a mere pile or for the greatest number of varieties, BUT
MAINLY ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY. Do not knock or shake fruit
from the tree, but pick each specimen by hand, taking care not to pull out
the stem. Products should be exhibited as nearly as possible in their natural
state, and no preference will be given in the judging for highly polished
fruits or vegetables.
Entries of "Commercial" containers of apples and sweet potatoes should be
graded to uniform marketable size, high color, smoothness, trueness to type,
freedom from cuts and bruises, and free from insect and fungus blemishes.
They should be properly packed and faced in standard containers.
Entries of "Collections" and under "Any Other Variety" must be correctly
named by the exhibitor. In the nomenclature of fruits, the names adopted
by the American Pomological Society shall rule, and no variety will be
accepted that has not been admitted to their catalogue, except in the case of
seedlings never before exhibited.
Awards and Judging
No awards will be made for unworthy specimens, where quality is lacking,
or where any of the Rules and Regulations governing these exhibits are
disregarded.
No article entered for competition in any class will be permitted to compete
for a premium in any other class. AN EXHIBITOR CANNOT COMPETE
FOR MORE THAN ONE PRIZE IN ANY CLASS.
No exhibitor will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the judges, or to
interfere in any way while the judges are at work.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR HISTORY
The first State Fair was founded in October 1853 by the State Agricultural Society.
One of the earliest resolutions approved was that the Society sponsor a "cattle show
and an exhibition of domestic manufactures." It was planned to offer premiums to
farmers who developed better practices for crop improvement, or designed and built
more effective implements. Immediately plans were underway toward the first State
Fair to spread constructive agricultural information.
The site for the first fair was a 16-acre tract about 10 blocks east of the Capitol in
Raleigh. In the Raleigh Register, the city's weekly newspaper, a week before the big
event ". . the entrance fee at the gate will be 25 cents for a single person, and $1 for a
carriage; and 50 cents for a buggy." The City of Raleigh contributed $25.00 toward the
fair and receipts amounted to $3000. Estimated attendance was four to six thousand.
It was highly successful. An editorial appearing in the Raleigh Register Sunday morn-ing,
October 22, 1853, allowed that:
"Nearly every section of the State; and every industrial pursuit within its borders,
were represented. The East sent its fine staples and its blooded stock, the West its
splendid cattle and its rich minerals. The farmer poured in his agricultural products,
the mechanic brought forward splendid specimens of his skill, the native artist ex-hibited
the productions of his pen or his pencil, and the ladies of the State, never
behind in any good work or beneficient object crowned the excellence of the whole with
the multiplied beauties which nature had yielded to their culture, and the varied and
tasteful attractions which had sprung from their handicraft."
The fair was moved in 1873 to what was then described as a "55 acre broom sage
field comprising and eminence known as 'Cook's Hill' on Hillsboro Road some 300
yards from the N.C. and Augusta Air Line Railroad, one and one-quarter miles west of
the city limits of Raleigh." This is now a residential and business district across from
the campus of N.C. State College. The Raleigh Little Theatre now occupies the site.
The Agricultural Society developed these grounds at a cost of more than $50,000.
The buildings consisted of a three-story octagon-shaped exhibit hall, 250 feet long and
44 feet deep. There were two wings designed as Farmers and Mechanics Halls. A 200 x
44 foot shed housed the machinery display and a three-story grandstand, judges' stand
and one-half mile of railroad tracks completed the permanent structures. The offices
and dressing rooms were on the first floor of the grandstand. The second deck was the
spectators' area, and the third floor was called "Tete-a-Tete Hall" where one could en-joy
a chair and privacy for an extra 25 cents.
By 1895 the Agricultural Society's show and exhibition had become the main annual
event among rural Tar Heels.
Politics and reunions were a big part of the fair in 1903. Confederate veterans
gathered at the fair and reminisced the big battles and hard times of '65 and '66.
President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to fairgoers in 1905 and was followed in 1907 by
William Jennings Bryan. Speechmaking was another major attraction of early fairs.
Bryan, the famed "silver-tongued" orator, had already delivered his famous cross of
gold speech and lost two elections. His address to North Carolinians undoubtedly was
part of his third unsuccessful race for presidency.
The Agricultural Society conducted the State Fair for 73 years. It was discontinued
from 1860 through 1866 during the Civil War and Reconstruction period, and in 1918
during World War I and influenza epidemic. The fair yielded in 1884 to a monthlong
"North Carolina Exposition" held on the fairgrounds.
In 1924 the society requested aid from the state and City of Raleigh. The first State
Fair Board was appointed by Governor McLean in 1925 with representatives from the
State, City and Agricultural Society. After this, the society disbanded. There was no
12
State Fair in 1926 and 1927. The late Governor J. Melville Broughton succeeded in con-vincing
the Legislature to designate 200 acres of land to the State Fair. Thus, the State
Fair moved in 1928 to its present site with additional land granted in 1952.
The State Fair was placed under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture in
1930. The various committees continued to operate the fair until 1933 when the Board
of Agriculture leased the fair to George Hamid for operation on a commercial basis.
The late Governor W. Kerr Scott returned the State Fair to the management of the
Department of Agriculture in 1937 when he took office as commissioner of
agriculture. That year in excess of $12,000 was paid out in educational exhibitor
premiums, and by 1968 this figure had reached more than $70,000. Currently the
figure exceeds $140,000.
Dr. J. S. Dorton of Shelby was appointed manager of the new State Fair, Division of
the Department of Agriculture, in 1937. Immediately the fair was no longer a burden
and showed a profit of over $8,000. The profits have increased yearly and have been
turned back into improvements for buildings and grounds.
It was in 1948 when entertainment became a big part of the State Fair. James E.
Strates Shows has been a regular feature since that time and during this same year
Bascom Lamar Lunsford brought the first Folk Festival, a feature that is still going
strong.
The N. C. General Assembly approved funds in the late 40's for construction of a
year-round facility to serve agriculture, industry, commerce and the general welfare
of the state. This center for educational, inspirational and recreational events was
completed in 1952 and named the J. S. Dorton Arena. The arena's unique architectural
design won it acclaim as one of the most significant structures of recent times.
Dr. Dorton died in 1961 and state Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. Ballentine
assumed his duties until his death in 1964. It was in 1961 that the fair operated six
days for the first time. Robert W. Shoffner, an assistant manager of the fair from 1947
to 1960 was appointed by James A. Graham to complete production of the '64 fair.
Arthur K. Pitzer was named permanent manager in January, 1965 by Commissioner
Graham.
Under guidance of Graham, the N. C. Board of Agriculture, Pitzer's management
and experienced staff, the fair has continued to grow and today is considered one of
the leading agricultural, industrial and educational fairs in the nation. In 1968 the
Board of Agriculture approved extending the fair's length to nine days beginning in
1969. This set the stage for the 1970's, which was to be a decade of significant growth.
Four new structures were completed: The Gov. Kerr Scott Building (1972), Crafts
Pavilion (1974), Livestock Building (1975) and Forestry Resources Center (1976). An
ambitious grounds improvement program of landscaping, paving, curbing and gutter-ing
was implemented. Work was also begun on Heritage Circle, an area near the fair-grounds
lake set aside to highlight cultural history of the state. One of the first
Heritage Circle projects was an authentic 18th century school house donated in 1975.
A program of popular special exhibits was inaugurated. In 1972 the fair sponsored
the world's largest space-related educational exhibit which was viewed by an es-timated
250,000 people. A series of exhibits highlighting different N. C. field com-modities
each year stirred new interest and pride in the state's agricultural tradition,
particularly among the non-farming public.
Several programs motivated in part by economic concerns of fairgoers were also ini-tiated.
In 1970 senior citizens were admitted to the fair free of charge. The same year
the Century Farm Families program was launched.
Efforts to speak to the wishes of the fairgoers paid off handsomely at the gate. At-tendance
averaged 570,000 in the 1970's. In 1976 the nine-day event, highlighted with a
visit by President Gerald Ford, was attended by 587,000 despite several days of cold
and rain. An all-time attendance mark of more than 662,500 was set in 1978.
13
The State Fair and grounds operate on a year-round basis. There are 25 permanent
employees, 21 of which are maintenance personnel.
Non-fairtime utilization of buildings and grounds increased dramatically in the
1970's as new sales initiatives by management and a complex of new facilities con-sisting
of the Kerr Scott Building (exhibit hall), the Jim Holshouser Building (crafts
pavillion) and the Jim Graham Building (livestock pavillion) made the fairgrounds an
active center for entertainment, meetings, expositions and agricultural shows.
The 1978 North Carolina Legislature authorized funds used by the fair to purchase
an additional 144 acres of land adjacent to the grounds. The acquisition brought the
fairgrounds to 344 total acres.

Information And General Rules
For Exhibitors And Patrons
Exhibitors and patrons are sincerely requested to make constructive
criticisms and offer helpful suggestions toward bettering any part or depart-ment
of this, YOUR STATE FAIR.
Please report any discourtesies by gatemen, concessionaires, showmen,
or others connected with the Fair. If, for any reason, there is a misunder-standing
about admission at gates or elsewhere, please pay the admission
price asked, take a receipt for same, and come directly to the Manager's
office. Please do not block traffic and delay others by prolonged arguments
with ticket-sellers, gatemen and ticket-takers who are working on strict
orders from the management and are not allowed to vary from them.
Concessions and attractions are granted privileges on the grounds to
supply the necessary wants, comforts, conveniences and pleasures of the
patrons. The management will not accept or knowingly allow the continuance
of any concession, show or other attraction of a questionable nature or a
demoralizing tendency, nor will any concession be permitted where the busi-ness
is conducted in other than a legitimate and legal manner.
Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language will not
be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be permitted.
No peddling, hawking or selling of any kind will be allowed in the buildings
or on the grounds except by special license obtained from the Manager.
Ali dining halls, lunch stands, refreshment booths, and other places dis-pensing
food and beverage must be substantial in structure and neat in
appearance. They must meet all health regulations and must sell only good,
wholesome food and pure honest goods at reasonable prices which must be
approved by the Fair management and displayed in a prominent place. No
soft drinks may be sold in bottles.
Parties owning buildings upon the State Fair grounds must notify the
manager thirty (30) days prior to the opening of the Fair as to whether they
desire to occupy the same or not, and if so, make arrangements with the
superintendent of the department for such occupancy. Failure to comply with
the provisions of this rule will cause the forfeiture of the use of such building
or buildings by the Fair management.
Any party or parties, firm or corporation owning buildings or material
upon the State Fair grounds without lease, or whose lease has expired, who
shall fail to remove same upon order of the Manager within the time specified,
shall forfeit all claim thereto, and the Fair management may take charge of
and remove same, charging expense attached thereto to the owner or owners
thereof, which expense or claim must be paid before material is released to
the owner.
The management of the State Fair reserves the right to amend, add to
and interpret the foregoing and following Rules and Regulations, and to
arbitrarily settle and determine all questions and differences in regard
thereto, or otherwise arising out of, connected with, or incident to the Fair.
In the event of conflict between the General Rules and the special rules
which appear as headnotes of the various divisions and departments of the
Fair, the latter will take precedence.
18
Disregard of any rule, or misrepresentation on the part of the exhibitor,
concessionaire or patrons will forfeit all premiums won, privileges granted,
fees paid, and rights to further participation in the Fair.
SERVICES
The Southern Bell Telephone Company will maintain complete service and
toll stations at convenient points on the FAIRGROUNDS.

Address System to locate "lost" persons except small children and in emer-gencies,
or where school bus drivers and other group leaders desire to
announce departure times.
An office for the use and convenience of representatives of the Press, and
Radio and Television Stations, will be maintained with telephones, type-writers,
and other facilities. It will be a pleasure to supply authentic informa-tion
of news value about the Fair, including lists of premium awards. Arrange-ments

use of Press and Television services, exhibitors and patrons are under no obligation to
purchase pictures, but may arrange directly with the photographer for this service if
they so desire.
The Fair will furnish free the original bedding for each stall and pen, but
exhibitors are required to care for and feed their own animals and they must
keep stall and pens clean and well bedded thereafter.
The State Fair will employ police, guards and traffic directors, and will
use diligence to promote safety and protection of patrons, and their exhibits
and property on the Fairgrounds. But, under no circumstances will the Fair
or any of its officers and employees be responsible for loss or damage to

ENTRIES
MAKE ALL ENTRIES EARLY!!! The right is reserved to reject any entry, and
all entries received after all space is taken must be rejected.
You will find the CLOSING DATES FOR ENTRIES set out in the Rules and
Regulations and the general headings of each of the various departments. These
dates VARY WITH THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE SPECIFIC DEPART-MENT.
Check these Closing Dates carefully.
SEPARATE ENTRY BLANKS are required for entries in each of the depart-ments.
Request the Entry Department supply you with an adequate number of
entry blanks.
Competition is OPEN TO THE WORLD in the Rabbit Department,
Poultry Department, Goats, Dairy Cattle Department, Beef Cattle Breeding
Animal Department, in the Swine and Sheep Departments and the Horse
20
Show. Poultry entering the State for exhibition shall be accompanied by a
permit from the State Veterinarian of North Carolina or his authorized
representative.
In all other divisions and departments competition is LIMITED TO
RESIDENTS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
NO DEPARTMENT SUPERINTENDENT OR DIRECTOR, OR MEM-BERS
OF THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES MAY ENTER EXHIBITS IN
THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS.
All entires (with exceptions noted in the .Livestock Division for group
classes) must be made in the name of the owner, breeder, manufacturer,
grower, producer or one whose skill the exhibit represents. A firm, to be
entitled to exhibit as such, must have been organized not less than 30 days
prior to the closing date for entries, and such firm must have been organized
as a bona fide firm for the purpose of producing, or buying and selling the
articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of such firm. A firm
will be regarded as one exhibitor.
Official printed forms MUST BE USED in making applications for entry.
One will be found in the back of this book. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR
ENTRIES IN EACH DEPARTMENT. Be sure to fill out the application
form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post
office box number, or city street address and zip code.
Additional application forms are available upon request to: N. C. STATE
FAIR, 1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607.
Incomplete entry forms will be returned for correction if there is time to
do so, but REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibit
space until proper entry has been made, and no entry will be accepted after
the closing date listed for the department.
Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly
classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which
event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department
Superintendent or Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE
OF THE ENTRY DIRECTOR." If the records are altered and do not
conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, payment of
premiums will be withheld.
No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to
see the entires, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are
made.
The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium
number (except as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and
Regulations). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens other
than those entered in single (individual) classes unless otherwise noted.
Except for the Horse Show no entry fees are required in any department,
except that livestock, poultry, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment
of stall, pen, and coop fees with their applications for entry. (SEE HEAD-NOTES
OF THESE DEPARTMENTS FOR SCALE OF FEES.) See Dept.
H, Arts and Photography head-notes for entry fees in the professional cate-gories.
Application forms for entry should be mailed to: N. C. STATE FAIR, 1025 Blue
Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N. C. Effective October 1, 1982 the Entry Department will be
staffed to receive applications for entry in person.
21
Entry Department will be open from October 4 through October 26, 8:00 A.M. -5
P.M. except Sunday, October 17 from 1-5 P.M. The Sunday following the fair the
department will be open from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM
ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These dates are set out in the Department
Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can
get your exhibits IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be con-sidered
abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing
of the Fair, and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE
SPECIAL RULES for the Culinary and Horticulture Departments.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair, on official
printed forms provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entries
in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or con-sidered
in the judging until proper entry has been made. Removal of exhibits
before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums
won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place
through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the
fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or
exhibits, and in an effort to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded con-ditions.
The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the
evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attend-ing
earlier.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper
department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be
issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain
on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for live-stock
and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or
coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL NOT BE MAILED, but will be available at
the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the
Department Superintendent or Director, who will allocate space and either
personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display, or direct
such action by the exhibitor. The State Fair assumes no responsibility for the
incorrect tagging of exhibits.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and
enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of the annual exposi-tion.
However, exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: N. C. STATE FAIR,
1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607, and they will be
carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the
same manner as previously described. They will be given the same considera-tion
with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation
charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair.
Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and
22
properly identified inside and outside the package as to the department,
class and premium number under which they have been previously entered.
They should be shipped or mailed at least a week or 10 days prior to the
opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed
shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority
over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which
are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use
as these Directors and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational
values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow,
must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Depart-ment
Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the
Junior Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and pens will be
furnished bedding before the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will
be required to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean.
Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article
entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to serve
as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim
checks should be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and
Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the
exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported
promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Director
of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within
one week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been aban-doned
by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair
sees fit. Other exhibits, and materials therein, including concession booths,
which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after
the end of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and will
become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does
not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and
the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed
objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted condi-tionally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any
article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will
be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the
Fair will be denied.
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must re-port
disqualification of entries to the Manager or Assistant Manager of
the State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUM-STANCES
WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PRE-MIUMS
PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOM-MENDED
UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS
OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER OR ASSISTANT MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise
and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only,
but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a
permit from the manager. The distribution of advertising matter which
23
conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is pro-hibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping
the space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and
roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit
booth and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or
concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for
cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the Fair
manager.
Exhibitors and Department Superintendents and Directors may have the exclusive
use of the lawn in front of the Educational and Commercial exhibit building for park-ing
until midnight, Thursday, October 14, 1982. Special parking facilities for the Live-stock
and Poultry Division will be provided at the west end of the Fairgrounds.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except
in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of
the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent
not later than noon of the day following the award, and must be accompanied
by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fail- if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to con-sider
the protest and all interested parties will be notified of the time of the
hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The i-ules of the
International Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will
be those of the North Carolina Fail-.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the
Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute pre-miums
equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit
that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE
INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN
ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except
such attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other
such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during
their adjudications, or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision
of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums
previously won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further partici-pation
in the Fair, and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging
reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superin-tendent
or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon
which they were awarded, if possible, but the libbons have no value in the
24
payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way
on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department
Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries
are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entiy department files are
not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded
premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that
does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are made as it
is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not collected during the Fair will
be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given on his or her entry form.
Errors in premium statements will be corrected until December 1, 1982, after which
time the books of the 1982 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:
Champion Royal Purple
Reserve Champion Lavender
First Premium Blue
Second Premium Red
Third Premium White
Fourth Premium Pink
Fifth Premium Yellow
Sixth Premium Dark Green
Seventh Premium Light Green
Eighth Premium Tan
Ninth Premium Gray
Tenth Premium, and above Light Blue

YEAR-ROUND USE

has exceeded 1,000,000 each year.

All entries in this Division must be made in advance and the gardens must be
ready for judging by 4 P.M. Thursday, Oct. 14.
We suggest you plan ahead for displays in this Division. Patios, walks and
fencing should be in place during the summer or early fall. Some of the plant
material is of better quality when grown in the area, therefore, plantings
should be timed to peak in mid-October.
Outdoor Gardens
Participants are expected to clean, replace dead plant material, and water
daily. If the garden is not kept attractive the premium will be forfeited. In
selecting plant material please keep in mind the cool temperatures which
occur during the fair. Any exhibitor not using growing plants will be dis-qualified.
All gardens will be judged on the following scale of points and the judges
will leave a schedule of the points as educational instruction for the partici-pants.
Appropriate comments and/or other suggestions will be made on the
judges scoring sheet.

SPECIAL NOTE!!
Because of the extended duration of the N. C. State Fair it is assumed that
most, if not all, apples will be out of condition by the end of the Fair. The
Superintendent in charge of the fruit exhibit shall determine the method of
distribution and any money received from the salvage of the apple exhibit
will be divided according to the volume sold from each county exhibit and that
amount will be sent to the respective county 4-H fund for use in 4-H work
involving apples.
Rules and Regulations
Except in cases of conflict, in which event the following Rules and Regu-lations
will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations of the Fair will
govern this department. BE SURE TO READ THESE IN THE FRONT
OF THIS BQOK'BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DE-PARTMENT.
Some—but not all—are repeated herewith for emphasis, and
others apply only to this department.
MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is reserved to reject entries
received after all available space is taken.
Official printed forms must be used in making applications for entry. Two
will be found in the back of this book. Additional copies are available upon
50
request. Use separate forms for entries in EACH CLASS—"1" Fruits and
Nuts, and "2 and 3" Vegetables, of this department, and separate forms for
entries in each other department of the Fair. Be sure to fill in the application
form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post
office box number, or city street address and zip code.
List the Department Letter "G" for Horticulture and the Class Number
"1" for Fruits or Nuts, and "2 and 3" for vegetables, for which each entry
is made. Also, list the premium number and the description of the article,
exactly as shown in the Premium List.
Entry Tags should be picked up at the Entry Department immediately
upon arrival on the Fairgrounds. An Entry Tag must be attached to each
exhibit before it is presented in the Department for display.
As far as possible, it is urged that all horticultural products be brought in and set up
by the exhibitor. Where it is not possible, shipments should be made in time to reach
the Fairgrounds no later than Wednesday, October 13, and should be addressed to:
Superintendent, Horticulture Department, N. C. State Fair, 1025 Blue Ridge Blvd.,
Raleigh, N. C. 27607.
Where it is not possible to personally bring the products to the Fair and
arrange them, the Superintendents will be glad to arrange the products in
the most attractive manner possible. However, they will not pack box or
basket entries for exhibit. Exhibits mailed or shipped to the Fair should be
carefully labeled to show the name and address of the exhibitor, and the
nature, and class in which entered, of the contents of the package.
The State Fair will furnish, PLATES, QUART AND PINT CONTAIN-ERS,
CORRUGATED CARTONS FOR SWEET POTATOES, AND TRAYS
for exhibits, but no other containers. The number of specimens for each
PLATE display is specified in the premium list. Standard size tray, IIV2
x 18 inches inside measurements, and 3 inches deep, will be used. Exhibitors
should make a tray of the required dimensions and pack the exhibit to
determine the number of specimens required. At least one extra specimen
for each plate, and three or four extra specimens for each tray, should be
brought or shipped to the Fair to allow for possible damage in transit.
To insure uniformity in exhibit material and to facilitate judging, the
following sizes for apple varieties will be recognized:
Variety Diameter
Arkansas 3 to 3Vi inches
Bonum 2% to 3 inches
Delicious and named bud sports 2% to 3V4 inches
Grimes 2% to 3V4 inches
Jonathan 2% to 3 inches
Golden Delicious 2 3A to 3Vi inches
Rome and named bud sports 3 to 3V2 inches
Stayman and named bud sports 3 to 3% inches
Winesap 2% to 3 inches
York and named bud sports 3Vs to 3% inches
Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be care-fully
wrapped and packed for shipment to the Fair. Wrap separately in
paper and pack firmly in a box, taking care to avoid bruising. Label each
variety plainly and put in dividers to keep varieties separated. Do not use
hay, fodder, excelsior or any other dusty packing material. Any exhibit that
51
rots, is unsightly or becomes unsightly will be removed from display (after
judging) at the discretion of the superintendent.
Quality—Not Quantity
In selecting horticultural products for exhibit, choose only those speci-mens
that are of uniformly good quality, form and color, true to type, and
free from all insect and disease blemishes, and free from cuts and bruises.
Premiums offered for the best collection of fruits or vegetables will not be
awarded for a mere pile or for the greatest number of varieties, BUT
MAINLY ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY. Do not knock or shake fruit
from the tree, but pick each specimen by hand, taking care not to pull out
the stem. Products should be exhibited as nearly as possible in their natural
state, and no preference will be given in the judging for highly polished
fruits or vegetables.
Entries of "Commercial" containers of apples and sweet potatoes should be
graded to uniform marketable size, high color, smoothness, trueness to type,
freedom from cuts and bruises, and free from insect and fungus blemishes.
They should be properly packed and faced in standard containers.
Entries of "Collections" and under "Any Other Variety" must be correctly
named by the exhibitor. In the nomenclature of fruits, the names adopted
by the American Pomological Society shall rule, and no variety will be
accepted that has not been admitted to their catalogue, except in the case of
seedlings never before exhibited.
Awards and Judging
No awards will be made for unworthy specimens, where quality is lacking,
or where any of the Rules and Regulations governing these exhibits are
disregarded.
No article entered for competition in any class will be permitted to compete
for a premium in any other class. AN EXHIBITOR CANNOT COMPETE
FOR MORE THAN ONE PRIZE IN ANY CLASS.
No exhibitor will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the judges, or to
interfere in any way while the judges are at work.
